I am getting VERY excited about attending the 28th Annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference coming up November 15th-17th. I keep catching myself looking over the schedule, the speakers, the hands-on events and dreaming about all the delicious fresh local food that will be served. 

Support Your Local Farmer: 5 Reasons to Buy Local Food

Do you know where your food comes from? How far did that tomato have to travel to get to your plate? Where was that lettuce grown? Was the meat on your plate raised humanely?  Now more than ever it is important to know the answers to these questions. 

William W. Dow Memorial Beginning Farmer & Rancher Scholarship

Recently I received notification that I was chosen as a recipient of the William W. Dow Memorial Beginning Farmer & Rancher Scholarship offered through the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association. 

This scholarship will allow me to attend the 28th annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference this November in Durham, NC. I feel enormously blessed to have been chosen to receive this gift.
